Category: Spreed

Today was a meeting about the integration of Spreed into Nextcloud. With Spreed you can make phone calls, send messages and do video conferences (may be even more). It is a very nice service that will be integrated in Nextcloud. Your Nextcloud installation will have then something inbuilt like Skype (in the future). Simon told us about the way Spreed works and we discussed ways to integrate it nicely in Nextcloud. After the meeting I was curious and installed the iOS App of Spreed. Ivan, the developer of the app showed me how to use it properly (the profile photo was an accident ).

In the afternoon I attended a meeting about the “polishing” of Nextcloud 10 which should be released as soon as possible.

Frank went through all the pages and it was very motivating to see how good it works and of course how many things should “cry” for improvements.

Beneath other stuff, there is a new app inbuilt called Password Policy. It tests the used passwords against a long list of known passwords and you can configure the way passwords have to be “constructed”. We had an intense discussion about the question “how long should be the minimum length of the password”. In the end Frank used a decision app on his mobile to come to an end. The default setting will be: Passwords should be minimum 6 characters long! (of course you can change that setting )

As yesterday normal business stuff happens and I’m very thankful to get the opportunity to have a full week behind the scenes of Nextcloud.

In the evening it started to rain, so it wasn’t really possible to walk outside without getting wet in seconds. After a short discussion we went back to the office and finally decided to take the S-Bahn (or U-Bahn) to have Burgers at Bonnie & Clyde
